Photograph shows the harbour with many small boats and fishing vessels tied up.\u003cbr\u003e\nCountry: Sweden\u003cbr\u003e\nYear:1950s\u003cbr\u003e\nDesigner: Bertil Norberg\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 39.8 in x 24.4 in (101 cm x 62 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmögen is one of the liveliest \"summer towns\" of the Swedish west coast. The community actually straddled several islands that lay so close together that the space in between has since been filled, and is now considered as a single island. The southern part consists mostly of Smögen Island, which lies in the centre. Around this lies to the south Kleven, in the northwest Sandön, and in the northeast, Hasselön. The town is connected to the neighbouring town Kungshamn by Smögenbron (Smögen Bridge).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe name has probably come from the Swedish word smyghål, which translates as \"sneak-hole\" or \"nook\", referring to the narrow inlet between the Smögen island and where the harbour lies.\u003cbr\u003e\nSmögen is well known for its long, wooden pier, about 600 m (2,000 ft), filled with shops in old fishing huts, which are frequented by a multitude of tourists during the summer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn or stained. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the vintage charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen framed these colourful and detailed posters, with vibrant colours can become a centre piece for any room, to remind us of a simpler time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They will be delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206179955075,"sku":"L7GBT","price":100.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.3346497436_2go3.jpg?v=1768963454","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1950s-swedish-smogen-tourism-poster-a-46141","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
